At least a message along the lines of "/dev/rmatcd0: device not found. Try using the -d option to specify the correct device" would point all but a very few people to the solution. Of course, using a sensible default device would be sensible as well, ideally /dev/rwcd0 since most users will have ATAPI CD-ROMs. > -Chris > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Mark Ovens [SMTP:mark@ukug.uk.freebsd.org] > > Sent: Tuesday, September 21, 1999 4:07 PM > > To: Luis Rios > > Cc: 'questions@freebsd.org' > > Subject: Re: KSCD... > > > > On Tue, Sep 21, 1999 at 02:57:11PM -0400, Luis Rios wrote: > > > I've just recently installed FreeBSD3.2 on a pentium 166 with 64M of ram > > > along with KDE.
